Dragon Cay Resort
Mudjin Harbour Road, Mudjin Harbour, Middle Caicos
Dragon Cay Resort is a collection of seven cottages and villas located at picturesque Mudjin Harbour, one of the top beaches in Turks and Caicos. It is the only resort-style accommodation on the quiet island of Middle Caicos.
This property offers travelers a secluded and simple getaway. There are no coffee shops, shopping plazas, or large developments located nearby: just miles of unobstructed and beautiful scenery to admire. The resort is named after Dragon Cay, an impressive rock formation found close off the beach, and overlooks 2,200 feet (670 m) of naturally preserved beachfront, stunning limestone cliffs, and vibrant turquoise water.
This hotel is situated on the old Crossing Place Trail, which offers some of the finest hiking in the country.
Accommodations
The accommodations at this property are simple yet comfortable and draw on the beauty of the surrounding area, with large windows and plenty of natural light. Of the seven standalone accommodations available here, five are studio cottages that can accommodate up to 2 guests and two are larger rustic villas (one with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the other with three bedrooms and two bathrooms). The larger villas can be booked for between 6 and 8 persons and include a living area.
Each unit is ocean view and has its own private patio, where you can take in the scenery from the ridge overlooking Mudjin Harbour. Wi-Fi, cable TV, air-conditioning, a coffee maker, and personal kitchens or kitchenettes are also included.
The hotel has one pet-friendly cottage. Guests traveling with pets should book well in advance to ensure its availability.
Amenities
Amenities at the resort include daily housekeeping, an onsite manager and concierge, and rentals of kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, and bicycles. For dining, there’s also an onsite restaurant, Mudjin Bar & Grill, in addition to the restaurants on North Caicos.
As there are no grocery stores on Middle Caicos, the resort offers a pre-stocking grocery service for guests. The concierge can also assist you in arranging a car rental for your stay.
Nearby Attractions and Beaches
Indian Cave is found close to the hotel just off the main road. The defining feature of this gallery cave is its many openings and skylights, through which sizable ficus trees grow.
Further down the road in the small settlement of Conch Bar is the largest dry cave system in the Bahamian Archipelago (or Lucayan Archipelago): Conch Bar Caves. Bambarra Beach, which offers shallow turquoise water and colorful tiki huts, is about a 20-minute drive.
There are several attractions on North Caicos worth visiting as well, including Cottage Pond (a deep Karst process sinkhole), historical Wade's Green Plantation, and the scenic Three Marys Cays area. The island also has several pristine and secluded beaches, including Whitby Beach, Hollywood Beach, and Pumpkin Bluff Beach.
Bookings and Reservations
This hotel only has seven units, so it's best to book well in advance to ensure something is available for your dates. All stays incur a mandatory 12% Government tourism tax and 10% service charge. Stays also incur a $75 cleaning fee.
Special offers are run by the resort throughout the year, and there's typically a discount available for longer stays.
Getting to Dragon Cay Resort
There are no international flights servicing North Caicos or Middle Caicos. International visitors must first fly to the Providenciales International Airport on Providenciales, where nearly all scheduled international flights into the country arrive, then take a 30-minute passenger ferry to North Caicos. The ferry runs several times a day and costs $70 round-trip for adults (2026 price).
A domestic flight to North Caicos, less popular than the ferry, also operates a few times per week from the Providenciales International Airport.
Once on North Caicos, you must either rent a car or hire a taxi to get to the resort on Middle Caicos. The two islands are joined by a causeway. Renting a car is typically best for exploring and often works out cheaper than a taxi.
Guests must stock up on groceries and supplies on North Caicos, as there are no grocery stores on the island.
